Can't open anything in PS CS5, even not a new document.

Hello

A week ago I started having a few problems. All of a sudden the Brush tool did not work, and the layers started acting weird. I rebooted, hoping that it was just a random bug, unfortunately it wasn't.

As it is today, when you start Photoshop CS5 everything seems fine, but when I open a new document or an old file, regardless of format, nothing happens. The rest gray background and no canvas appear.

All other products Adobe in my Web Premium package works like a charm, but not even a pure installation of the whole package resolved the problem of photoshop.

I have updated to the most recent update, but without success.

If I received an error message, it would be possible to search, but I have nothing at all, just the standard photoshop toolboxes and the background, as if no document is open.

I have Windows XP Pro 32-bit.

Material:

Processor: Intel Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3 .00GHz

GFX card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 260

RAM: 3 GB

If there is more information you need, let me know.

It's a little urgent, because I am a student of Multi Media Design and photoshop is my go-to-program.

Sincerely Sebastian Schaltz harder.

See if the problem persists when you disable the drawing OpenGL (via Edition - Preferences - Performance).

If Yes, is it possible a Windows Update may have changed (downgraded) your video driver?

I ask because the kind of thing you see may be caused by the video driver bugs which I believe have already been processed by nVidia (although I'm not sure of your card in particular)...

Check your version against the latest available on the next page and update if yours is obsolete:

  • I can't open anything in my list of downloads

    I can't open anything in my list of downloads. I tried to reset firefox and I also tried everything in your article "What to do if you are unable to download or save files" but nothing helps. I tried to upgrade to the latest firefox to see if that helps, but once I hit the download button, 1 minute later, it appears in my list of downloads and... same problem... I can't open it to run it! It's like he fell down, because no amount of clicking a download will activate anything. It seems that the download list is dead! Also, (and I think it's related), I can't save web pages. I will, however, movements and looks like it's doing the right thing, but do not save pages - they disappear just in the ether! I am on Windows Vista and have been happy things download for years, but suddenly this problem occurred and I am out of ideas now... Help, please!

    You attempted to set the pref browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone false on the topic: config page?

  • I can't open anything that uses Windows Explorer...

    I just installed Office 2007 and now I can't open anything that uses Windows Explorer. This includes the trash, all files and folders, same control panel. The only things I seem to be able to run correctly are programs. When I try to open anything, I get a popup window stating "Windows Explorer...". (Not responding) "and it will remain forever as this very pretty. After some clicking, it will inform me that Windows Explorer has stopped responding and that I can force close, waiting, etc.

    I can't open all the products of the 2007 Office Suite that I just installed but I can't delete them either, since I don't have access to these files in the Panel. I checked in the file manager, and he said I actually opened these programs (I had 6 cases of execution of Excel), but they do not open and are just frozen on my screen.
    I tried xplorer2 download and access control by that Panel, and it froze AGAIN, although I could enter some of my files that I could not earlier.
    What can I do if I can't access control panel to remove things or to restore my system? Should I delete the MSOffice registers?

    Fixed! Ignore the previous message!

    It was something within the Office itself, which was to ruin. I ran the diagnostic tool of the Office she found an error of diagnosis, repaired, Office has been able to open (and then I had my Windows Explorer as well back function). Woohoo!
    For those who have similar problems, I did start > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Tools > Microsoft Office Diagnostics and he ran.

  • Photo Gallery can't open the photo because you are not allowed access to the location of the file

    Photo Gallery can't open the photo because you are not allowed access to the location of the file some of the image are open

    Click on the folder and change your permissions for it and all subfolders and files all rights and if necessary take hand the case (and maybe the parent folder or even its parent - and all of the subfolders and files) until you have the permission you need.  Here are the general procedures to help you:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  • Photo Gallery can't open this picture because you do not have permission to the location of the file asscess

    I had to format my pc yesterday and I can't access my photos on my hardrive 2ndry can anyone help this is the message I get when I try to view them
    Photo Gallery can't open this picture because you do not have permission to the location of the file asscess RJ

    I recently started having the SAME problem. Windows Photo Viewer working wonder in the past months on the same exact images without any problems.

    I suspect that Microsoft update the code somewhere which pushed as an update - what is now the cause of the problem.

    As a diagnosis, I tried with the right button "open with...". "and chose the paint. The same file opened without any problem.

    All the pictures are generated for all images without problem.

    Still, Windows Photo Viewer cannot display ALL my image files. Paint has no problem.

    Similarly, right click 'open with... '. "and choose Microsoft Office 2010. Loading the image without any problems.

    If the original poster has the same success using other programs - then the problem is with the Windows Photo Viewer - Microsoft of not having it recognize permissions for the code or something.

    It's on Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit. Latest updates applied Microsoft.

    Deleted file recovery can recover incomplete files, i.e. the part of these files may be missing.  Recover deleted files is much more reliable if recovery of a backup, instead of using recovery software.

    These things depend on the operating system and the file system.

    One thing, you can see: open one of these files damaged with a text editor, and then make sure that the constant % PDF is somewhere in the first 1024 bytes.
